BELT-SHIPPER FOR PU LLEYS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 758,081, dated April 26, 1904.

Application filed July 29, 1903.

To all whom, it many concern:

Be it known that I, EMANUEL KOTTUSGH, me-

chanic, a citizen of the Republic of Switzerland, residing at schonthalstrasse 19, Zurich, Switzerland, have invented new and useful Improvements in Belt-Shippers for Pulleys, of which the following is a clear and exact specification.

My invention relates to a belt-shipper for pulleys the distinguishing feature of which is that there is fitted beside the pulley and on its shaft in such a manner as to admit of its be ing revolved a segment of angle-shaped crosssection the angular surface or area of which, running concentric with the pulley-rim, forms a tapered cylindrical surface, so that on the segment being turned round the belt is shipped onto the pulley by the upright flange or edge, which is set obliquely in a manner corresponding with the tapered shape of the con-' centric segment-surface. This belt-shipper has or may have the further distinguishing feature that the segment is made in two parts and that both parts may be radially adjustable, so that the same shipper may be made to fit within certain limits pulleys of different diameter.

The improved belt-shipper is illustrated in' the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a side View of the pulley and of the shipper, showing the belt unshipped; Fig. 2 in partial section a top view of the parts shown in Fig. 1; Fig. 3, a side view of the parts in position while the belt is shipped; Fig. 4, a top view of the parts shown in Fig. i Fig. 5, an end view of the parts shown in The belt-shipping segment 6 is arranged on the shaft just beside the pulley a, and its nave d is prevented from shifting laterally on the shaft 12 by means of an adjustable collar 0. The shipping-surface is immediately beside the pulley-rim and consists of two curved portionsg it, provided with flanges if. The supporting-armsf of the two portions may be radially shifted in guides in and be fixed by setscrews Z. To avoid creating a free space between the surface parts when shifting the por- Serial No-167A78. (No model.)

tions outward, one of the portionsfor instance, the part gcarries at the bottom a curved plate m, which after the parts have been adjusted in position can be fixed by setscrews 92-. The surfaces of both portions g 11, form in conjunction atapered cylindrical surface bounded on one side by the oblique flange i j,as shown'in Fig. 4.

From the nave d of the shipper stretches an arm 0, provided witha pin p, which rests in a hook q, fixed to the ceiling when the belt is not shipped, Figs. 1 and 2. In this position the belt overhangs the broad end of the segment-surface g h.

If the belt is to be put on, the pin 19 of the arm 0 of the shipper is unhooked by means of a rod r and the arm 0 pulled down, Fig. 3, thereby causing the shipper to swing round the shaft and its oblique flange if to push the belt laterally onto the pulley.

The division of the segment-surface and the radially-adjustable character of its two parts permits of the same shipper being used for pulleys of varying diameter Within the limits afforded by the length of the slots for the setscrews Z and a.

After the belt has been shipped the pin 10 of the arm 0 of the shipper is again put into the hook g on the ceiling, so that when unshipping the belt the latter returns into the normal position, Fig. 1.

hat I claim is- 1. In a belt-shipper, the combination, of a segment consisting of two parts 'joined by radial supporting-arms to a nave, rotatable on the shaft, with an oblique flange arranged on the tapered cylindrical surface of the segment, and means for preventing the nave of the shipper from shifting laterally and means for rotating the shipper on the shaft independently of the belt-pulley, substantially as set forth.

2. In a belt-shipper, the combination of a segment, consisting of two parts, each one having a radial arm, slidable radially in a guiding of radial arms of a nave, rotatable on the shaft, each part of the segment havinga; part of an oblique flange, arranged on the tapered cylindrical surface produced by the for rotating the shipper 0n the shaft siibstarl= two segment parts, set-screws for adjusting tially as specified and shown in the drawings. 16 the segment-part arimsl on the guilingsfif the Signed at Berlin this 23d day of May, 1903; nave-arms, a curve p ate secure on t e un- 5 der side of one segment part, and set-screws EMANUEL KOTTUSCH' for adjusting said plate on the other segment Witnesses: 1 part, and means for preventing the nave of WOLDEMAR H'AUPT, the shipper from shifting laterally and means I.
